About time someone stands up to that...

This, coming from a HVI respected and good poster @vhsalum over at GIA this morning. He states:

"Now the biggie - yes. Kyven was right. The AD has plans to talk to DT. She is dead serious about WINNING chips again. She's not particularly happy with Tom at the moment. The gambling, the ferrari situation, and this performance - she's holding Tom accountable and will be looking to do what will have us beat carl. She is VERY AWARE of the legacy of Iowa wrestling and how we're falling further behind. Like I told you earlier, she shut down AJ coming in in January - she's not a fan and isn't a fan of Tom's decision to bring the circus in. She also told Tom to get a hold of Terry - it's why he's been "less" in the corners.

Now how this got out? Not sure, but it likely means there are Tom loyalists who wanted it leaked. Because the plan was to wait until after the Olympics to talk to DT. So now that its out, not sure if this will accelerate talks or stop them completely."

"I've heard he'll (DT) "listen" - basically, the offer would have to be everything and more."

How would this work with Toms contract running through 2029? Will they both coexist or will Tom get canned for it to work?

"canned"


Interesting rumors for the Monday morning after!

Any chance he is moved to WR at least in the short term if the WR room does not improve?

Apparently just went up. He talked some about the trials and the problems with trying to cut, trying to heal and to wrestle at a high level. What may be more interesting is that he now says that he's MORE LIKELY THAN NOT returning (he says 60/40 in favor of returning). He also mentions that Cael mentioned the possibility of him bumping to 197 for next year. Hmmmmmmm.......

Not sure where I saw it posted, but I saw a B&W photo of the Brooks and Taylor moment kneeling together on the mat. It was from floor level and directly behind Brooks. I’d love to purchase a copy as a gift. Has anyone seen that and, even better, know who took it? Thanks in advance!

I get that we are in the off-season. But there are lots of players entering the portal, committing to new schools, the NFL draft is this week, etc. We just have very little discussion of it here. And there are few OT threads that are interesting. Those used to be a big part of this site during the off-season. But we can't have that anymore. Too many people take offense to anything said.

I hope that the site doesn't die off but I'd have to believe the traffic is declining. Is there something we can do to grow the community here? Are there any OT discussions that are interesting that we can add that won't trigger easily offended posters? Any new thoughts or ideas to revive this site?

And for the record, the other site that bolted from here is just as stale.

Thought I'd post this to find out who's attending and for comments before and after the banquet.

I'll be there, God willing, and I am looking forward to seeing Carter and Aaron honored for being 4× Champs. Aaron will also receive his Hodge trophy, which will be pretty cool. I'll be interested to see who comes out with the seniors to give their speeches.

The PSWC banquet is always a great wrap up to our wrestling season, and I'd encourage anyone who hasn't attended to put it on their bucket list. Great place to take your family too. The wrestlers are very approachable at the end of the banquet for pictures and conversation. Just a great overall event.

Just want to finish by thanking the volunteers with the PSWC that make this possible!

Not sure how this will copy from Twitter. Thankfully Cutch basically shot him down
